I did this a few months ago..
and it was the one statement that its the "critical moments" that get us what we want that stuck.. SO..

WHY DO I WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT?
Well I know that I don't feel well. Physically. I just feel sick inside all the time, and that isn't even beginning to account for the emotional toll.
I am tired of being tired.. being depressed and knowing I am headed full force into the family history of diabetes
I am scared of passing NO help to my children for this problem
I want to fit in clothes that I like and I want to be a strong and healthy old lady.. so my children are not burdened with my care.
And I want great looking arms, abs and legs :-)

what 10 Patterns did I accept without question before making the change?
1.that sugar is necessary to life.
2. that Fat is bad!
3. that I had no time that I could make non negotiable
4. that fast was the only way to lose weight
5. That I had to workout for HOURS to get slim
6. That its inevitable to feel sicker as I get older.
7. that I can't be fat and be attractive.
8. That I can't lose weight.
9. That this has to be hard.
10. that ancients were ALL vegetarians..

Things I still have to work on:
1 writing all my food and exercise down!
2. loving myself
3. Adding the spiritual element to all of this.
4. more study!
5. more fun doing this. ie.. try more recipes!
6 that fun always has to do with FOOD!


10 habits I am in the process of changing.
1 confusing my weight as the only show of my health. IE I am trying to focus on how I feel during my WOL changes..and NOT as much on my dress size.
2. I get up early to exercise so it is not a bargaining tool for time.
3. I eat breakfast and make it for my daughter and Jen as well.
4. I make a lunch and take it to work.
5. I try to eat varied foods daily.
6. I take my supplements
7. I try to take time to relax and visualize the changes.
8. I drink more fluid.
9. I have planned my workouts ahead by thinking through what 6 week goals are.
10. Sleeping early!
